Crunch that packs a punch
The latest thing at the corner shop, we hear on Twitter, is a new variety of munchie that has plenty of power in its bite. We don't know who came up with this cracking idea, but these "CID Snacks" are sure to be a hit, if you don't mind yet another pun, with those who are familiar with the record-setting television show. The pack features the show's hero, ACP Pradyuman, flanked by Daya and Abhijeet, his trusty lieutenants.
Maybe other flavours of the crispy tidbits carry other members of the cast on the pack but as far as we are concerned, these three are winners.
ACP Pradyuman's familiar hand gestures are sure to come in handy when extricating the snacks from the bag, Abhijeet's keen eye will be able to pick out the pieces with the most masala on them, and as for Daya why, when you are struggling to open the bag, just bring to mind his muscular efforts in breaking down doors ("Daya, darwaza todo!" is a familiar joke for many of us), and the plastic will part as smooth as butter.
But is it official, we hear someone ask. Maybe not, and if the show's copyright owners locate the originator of this spicy show-stopper, we might even hear some new dialogue from Daya.
